Catalog #:	WAP 324EP

"New York five-piece My Best Fiend deal in epic, hypnotic melodies that cross the emotional and experiential spectrums. The band's current incarnation was formed in 2009, and since then, they've been winning over audiences with their live sound and dynamic performances. Higher Palms is a mesmerizing new track, not designed to shrink into the background, with each note, chord and vocal demanding your full attention. The 7" is backed with a remix from new jack Young Montana (Alpha Pup) who's fresh off an acclaimed debut LP, giving MBF his beat chop style on a hypercolor canvas, saturated with soul and lit with innovation."

Title:	In Ghostlike Fading
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	WARP 224CD

"While the five members of My Best Fiend live in Brooklyn, the music they create resides somewhere else entirely: in a spacious, dreamlike world all its own. On their Warp Records debut, In Ghostlike Fading, their songs feel like reveries, mixing gorgeously atmospheric keyboards with grittier guitars and plaintive lead vocals. Almost hushed, folk-like verses build to ringing rock choruses, bolstered by layers of floaty vocal harmonies from various friends and guest stars, all of it treated to a generous turn of the reverb knob. Hallucinatory opening track, 'Higher Palms,' achieves a kind of modern, Phil Spector-like spirit, a somewhat woozier Wall of Sound. Lead singer Frederick Coldwell's lyrics teeter between decadence and penitence, compulsion and confession, offering portraits of characters that have sweated through a long dark night of the soul or two and--for the most of them."
